Living in Oregon I was surprised to see these rules. I have seen posting for city parks but I do not remember seeing them at state parks. I know it is stated at the dunes no alcohol but when camping on the dunes the rangers don't seem to care at all. I know it really helped reduce the number of bad accidents from drunk ATV riders. I know the police or rangers are not after people who are not causing problems. One day at a lake waiting on fireworks after dark several boats were lined up with multiple people on them and drinking, music playing and the sheriff stopped at each one. They pulled up in front of mine and it was just me and my dog, grill going on the back and I was sitting with a Bud Light. They just waved and went on. I know there are some LE out there that have a power problem and need to enforce to support their ego but they are very few. I firmly believe if you drink responsibly you are 99% assured of not having a problem. I do have to say I may steer clear of Texas after hearing all these posts about it. LOL!
